Hi , how do I get the following link to open automatically in new tab instead of the same tab?

The following code is entered in journal type field.

[code]<a href="http://www.service-now.com">ServiceNow</a>[/code]

If the link is click from below screenshot, it will open in same tab and generate error.

Hi @Willem , following up from other post (insert hyperlink in additional comments), how do I get  the code to open in new tab?

[Willem · Accepted solution]

Yes, Mike is right, use:

[code]<a href="https://google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>[/code]

Other options:

Value	Description
_blank	Opens the linked document in a new window or tab
_self	Opens the linked document in the same frame as it was clicked (this is default)
_parent	Opens the linked document in the parent frame
_top	Opens the linked document in the full body of the window
